Low Light Combat Pistol
One Day - 9 hours
This training is geared to use of the combat pistol in low light situations. It should come as no surprise to anyone that a majority of potential deadly force encounters occur after the hours of darkness yet we seem to do the majority of our defensive handgun training in broad day light. This course will add immeasurably to your confidence should you ever face the potential use of your pistol in a limited or no light situation.

Flashlights: You will need a flashlight for this course. Recommended flashlight styles include two, three, or four cell “D” battery type lights with thumb activated switches (the mag light “D” style lights are fine and Bi Mart carries them) or any small end cap activated light is good (Stream light, Sure Fire, etc.) Please bring extra batteries! It never hurts to bring an extra backup light. The large D cell “Tire Thumpers” are great backed up by the Sure Fire or other small end cap activated light. Learn to use them both!
Additional Recomendations: Water, lunch and snacks
are highly
recommended. Lunch will be an hour in length and, due to range
location, will have to be brought with you. Please call if you have
any questions regarding personal equipment or gear.
